The Dragon Slayer of Ornstein is a titanic, cultured nation, ruled by Ornstein with a fair hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, daily referendums, and compulsory military service. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 14.714 billion Ornsteinians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Spirituality. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Anor Londo. The average income tax rate is 54.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Ornsteinian economy, worth a remarkable 1,658 trillion souls a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 112,746 souls, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.9 times as much as the poorest.

Politicians are often found scavenging bins at night to supplement their income, the diplomatic corps stinks, the Smalltopian embassy doubles as an electoral campaign headquarters, and conductors wield diamond-encrusted batons to fit in with their freshly gilded surroundings. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Ornstein's national animal is the dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Violetism.

Ornstein is ranked 7,022nd in the world and 1st in Ostenesia for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 14,393.93 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
